Tišliarová, Katarína ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Hennlichová, Marcela (referee)
This paper's main goal is an analysis of the life of the first crowned female sovereign ruler of England, Marie I. Tudor, mostly trying to point out the difference in her monarchal processions pertaining the beginning of her rather short period of reign, compared to the customary processions for new male rulers. The first researched question was whether Marie was being prepared to be a ruler as a child, or if her academic upbringing was just that of a good, Christian woman. This paper serves to analyze written sources describing topics such as Maries' coronation, her royal entry, or her role as a Queen-consort, and answer any possible questions regarding the differentiation of the first female ruler with her father, king Henry VIII and his first queen-consort, Katherine Aragon. Her marriage was also a rather important question. The paper looks at how getting married influenced her position on the English throne - did she keep her status as the sole queen of England, or was she presented more in line with her gender, that being the role of a queen-consort? The paper answers these questions over the course of the thesis and, through the use of gender analysis and historical anthropology, comes to concrete conclusions.

Entente Cordiale: the Development of the British-French Relations on the Way to the Entente Cordiale, 1898-1904.
Hennlichová, Marcela ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor) ; Opatrný, Josef (referee) ; Novotný, Lukáš (referee)
The mutual Anglo-French Relations at the turn of the 19th and 20th century were complicated. The Fashoda Crisis of 1898 placed both powers at the brink of war, which was finally turned away due to the withdrawal of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs Delcassé. With the arrival of a new French ambassador to London, Paul Cambon, the mutual Anglo-French Relations entered a new era, which eventually led to the signature of the Entente Cordiale six years later. The aim of this thesis was to analyse the genesis of the Anglo-French Relations from 1898 to 1904 and to discover which factors enabled both Powers to come to the general agreement. Through the signature of the Entente cordiale on April 8, 1904 France and Great Britain settled their colonial disputes and started a mutual cooperation, which inaugurated the formation of the blocks that clashed in the First World War in 1914.
